Mice :-(

[Piemother]

Tell me theres a clever way to disuade them without killing them?

Just moved the furniture around in my living room assume I've uncovered a hole or something as been here a long time and no droppings etc just a little dinky mouse dashing about!

I am a naturally kind person and animal-lover, but if necessary will kill slugs, caterpillars, moths, rats and mice.

If you had a suffering and incurable pet, what would you do?

Never just one mouse.

You couldnt put down enough traps to get rid of an infestation.

Neosorexa gold, you can get it on ebay. Poison is the only way to get rid of them.

Landlord sending pest control. I will, still be asking for humane traps. I shall see what happens before I take any further action. I've had mice in more homes than I haven't be I always expected hundreds but there never were.

I don't entirely agree with the 1 mouse = many mice theory. We used to live in a city and there it was true. Now we live in country and in cold weather we do sometimes get the odd lone mouse but once caught or deterred we never see them or any sign of them for a year until its winter again. Country mice would rather be out in the hedgerows eating blackberries (or living in my nice warm compost heap )

If it's any consolation OP, we had a one-mouse situation. We lived in London. Crafty little bugger, but he eventually succumbed to a wire-sprung trap.

Awww, that's cute, PigletJohn. I was a bit worried there might be a twist at the end (I heart rats).

The human traps in the wardrobe have been emptied of bait and ahve closed, but no critters inside (nimble little blighters). I'll try a few more nights, then I'm getting some of that mummifying poison.
